Tabnine - AI Autocomplete & Chat for Javascript, Python, Typescript, PHP, Go, Java & more

Tabnine is a MUST HAVE extension. He will predict your next keystroke and sometimes it's just WOW; HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?.

Imagine you've a private string $firstName property in PHP. By starting to type private function set, Tabnine will understand you're probably creating a setter and will then suggest setFirstName(string $firstname).

<?php

class Customer
{
    private string $firstName;

    private function set // <=== Tabnine will predict and propose setFirstName(string $firstname)
}

Another example...

Imagine the code below and take a look on the __construct method. We need to handle the $price parameter. We need to call the setter for it.

<?php

class Product
{
    private string $productName = '';
    private float $productPrice = 0;

    public function __construct(string $name='', float $price=0)
    {
        $this->setProductName($name);
    }

    public function getProductName(): string {
        return $this->productName;
    }

    public function setProductName(string $name): void {
        $this->productName = $name;
    }

    public function getProductPrice(): float {
        return $this->productPrice;
    }

    public function setProductPrice(float $price): void {
        $this->productPrice = $price;
    }
}

And here is how VSCode will predict my keystrokes when Tabnine is enabled. As you can see, Tabnine will predict that, after I've typed $this- that I'll use my setProductPrice method. And he knows that this function requires a parameter so he suggests that I use my $price one.

It's really amazing.

By default, Tabnine works offline i.e. don't use any cloud data provider like what GitHub Copilot does.
